Senior Director, Data & Applied Science at Microsoft
With over 14 years of experience leading data science organizations, I specialize in building and scaling machine learning solutions that drive high-impact business decisions. I have led teams that develop advanced ML and econometric models, optimizing cloud infrastructure planning for AI technologies and improving efficiency through globally optimized risk management.
Beyond technical expertise, I bring strategic leadership and a deep understanding of the intersection between AI, economics, and business strategy. My work in hybrid econometric modeling, integrating deep learning with classical methodologies, has pushed the boundaries of predictive analytics and decision-making. With an MBA from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business and experience at both BCG and Microsoft, I am passionate about mentoring others in developing scalable, impactful ML solutions. I look forward to guiding and empowering the next generation of data science leaders.
